Eskimo Traditions.

~
But, speaking of traditions, / NIGH
say that these people possess q grea
MANY Of them. 1t is, however, very diff
cult to induce an Eskimo to speak OF
such things Or of his religious beliefs.
The only way of extracting such Informs
tion from an Eskimo is to make him your
friend, and then getting him away from
his companions promise that yon will not
tell them what he may tell you, and hav-
ING done this to draw him step by step
into the line OF conversation you want to
Get At. One of their traditions is about
The flood, and | think it is particularly
interesting. as it is one of many similar
legends held by the savage tribes. The
Eskimos say that a very long time ago
there was 4 great ram, which flooded the
earth and destroyed all men except q few
who constructed d large boat out OF .
number Of small ones and used 1t as q
means of escape. After a while the poor
creatures, being exposed to the fury OF
the storm in their open boat, began TO be
cold and uncomfortable SO their chief,
standing up, threw his spears and orna-
ments into the waters, and this was suffi-
Gent To pacify them and they subsidized.
They have also q romantic legend about
the origin of the sun and moon.-Io10atO

A Fertilizer Hint,

]. B. s. has a light, gravelly and poor
soil which he proposes to seed to wheat
with grass, and has salt, lime, plaster and
ashes as q fertilizer. As the land has
never had salt or lime, their application
may be very beneficial. We advise SOW
ing alternate strips with the salt, lime
and plaster, to see how they act. That
is the only way to tell-experiment for
yourself. Nor should we bother to mix
these with the bone and ashes, but apply
them separately and in varying quaint
ties; but don't get on more than two bar
Tels of salt per acre, and less may be as
well. The ashes, if pure and unleached,
will contain about six per cent. of potash
and two per cent. of phosphoric acid;
pure fine ground bone contains about
twenty per cent. of phosphoric acid and
four per cent. of nitrogen commonly
called ammonia). Mixed together in
equal proportions, we have a fertilizer
running two per cent. of nitrogen, eleven
per cent. Of phosphoric acid and three per
cent. Of potash; apply this at the rate of
500 pounds to 1000 pounds per acre, ac-
eording to your purse, and you should
get results that win please you. The
bone and ashes should be composted and
ekept moist for two or three months be-
fore using, so that the potash will cuta nd
soften the bone. We should drill this in,
and broadcast and harrow in the salt and
plaster, though broadcasting for both may
be better. -FuTm and Garden.

Fattening Pigs ON Pasture.

A notion prevails that pigs cannot be
fattened unless closely shut up in a pen.
Along in September, as soon as corn is
large enough to be fed to them, the pigs
must be confined in a stuffy little pen,
where they cannot get a sniff of fresh air
or green grass. This is an unnatural and
unreasonable theory. Animals that have
had the freedom Of a pasture range all
summer, cannot be contented when thus
suddenly deprived of it; and when not
contented they will not readily take on
flesh. | think the idea must have origi-
mated in the fact that a few hogs, shut
away from the main drive, viii do better
on the same feed than the others. This
separation usually occurs at fattening
time. The advantage gained in this way
may sometimes exceed the loss occasioned
BY removal from grass, and thus give rise
to the notion that close confinement IN a
plank floor is just the thing for fattening
pigs.
Again there is a breed q am glad it is
now almost extinct) that can never be
fattened unless they are ringed, ham
strung and tied down, for they are newt
able landvsharks by nature as well as by
name, and will root themselves down to
bristles and bones if given space enough
in which to do it. In times when this
breed ca was the prevailing one,
it was quite likely to cause
the farmer to think that . hog
could not be fattened while allowed any
degree of freedom. But, as / have said
before, we have now gotten out of this
kind of stock, and as a natural conse-
quence, we want to get out of this way
Of managing our swine. A modern, re-
spectacle, well bred pig will not root his
flesh off if he is fed in satisfying quanti-
ties, as fattening pigs out West usually
are. In fact, It has been clearly dePnn-
strated that be xii tena-s6 much
faster II allowed room to exeIeise and a
/ chance to add Something to his diet of
dry corn. Hogs i'll this kind do not root
much If given b good clover pasture.
Unless given something besides dry corn,
they ought to root, for their systems de-
maud something more than the corn con-
fains. They wilInot root for fun, nor for
| food if they can find what they need on
the surface of the ground.
AS to the quality of pork fattened on q
clear corn diet, while the pigs so fed are
| closely confined, little need be said. The
diseased pork that is inflicted upon the
country is grown in these same putrid,
infected holes. Pure, wholesome milk
or flesh cannot come from filthy food o.
filthy surroundings. Practical Farmer.

How Horses are spoiled.

When we have succeeded In inspiring
the horse with entire confidence in him
Belf and III his master also, there is but
little likelihood, unless he is a very ner-
yous or a very perverse horse, that he
will become troublesome through any
vicious act, or want of honesty. atBalk-
ing that me vice that pretty nearly
takes all the .virture out of some horses,
ii undoubtedly always, 81 very nearly al
wars, chargeable to indiscreet manage
ment u the part of those who have had
the breaking-training-and after nan
agement at work. Thus, If a horse is
overloaded while yet young, stops to rest
without being told to do so, and finding
The rest agreeable, and the s~tarting-be-
ing Mcary-disagrceable, it is not to be
wondered at that he forms the habit of
stopping, and thenceforward becomes a
sBaIker.n If, when this first inclination
to stop and hesitate is observed the temp
tation be taken away by getting onto an
easier piece of road, lightning the load,
Or giving the horse rest, and feed if need
ed, after avoiding a similar occasion for
stopping, the danger of having a con-
frmed balky horse may be aVerted. But
when under these circumstances the
horse is hit with a whip, and sharply
Fe~primanded, then look out for q ~retaila-
tory effert. The horse assumes that you
are his enemy, and from that moment he
places himself in an antagonistie posi-
ton, looking upon his master as an en-
envy.
The question is often asked whether q

"The Curious i'm Dairv;nn..

-
An Ohio farmer says in the New York
if7ouie: One comes across queer wrin-
kles" in dairying; some Of them really
nave a scientific" side, but the operators
Tor the life of them can give no reason
Tor their practice. One lady says she al
ways puts a pint of cold water in the cen
tire OF each milk pan when she sssets it;''
why, she does not know, but she always
mas good luck getting cream. Now there
- more science about this than appearson
the surface. Milk contains more or less
aibumi1ous matter which makes it slightly
sticky Iussome instances this is very
marked, and amounts to pronounced Wis
costly. Water is a solvent of it, and the
addition of pure cold water makes the
milk get more fluid and enables the but
ter fats to rise with more resistance, and
hence the better cream. The cooling eff
feet of the water at the. centre of the
milk might aid more than one.w would
think possible. The only effect would
be that of making the milk more iilnpid,
and would not be Objectionable, but the
question comes up, would there not be
more certainty about cream rising il the
milk were put in c~an-pails and set in
tanks of cold water, and the lower, uni
form temperature of the milk secured?
Another curious custom lately came to
my knowledge-that of washing out the
butter with sweet skim milk, as it did
not give the butter d fiat taste like that
impaired when water was used. If old
or strong butter be washed out with
sweet milk, it dissolves and libcrates
some OF the elements, notably acids, that
cause the change in butter. | suspect this
lady churned very old, or sour cream,
and the sweet milk takes out the ele-
ments wrought by the chemical action of
s~ourine, and leaves the butter with a
flavor not Influenced by these objection
able features. The thing that all au-
thorities now say makes butter bad
(caseinel has not been got out of the but
ter, and, with the little remaining de-
composing easeine and sugar, it must be
sooner fastened on its road to question
able flavor, and consequent low price.
Had this lady churned ~oftener, and used
cream less acid, she would have found
that salt and water is everyday superior
to sweet milk as an aid in bu~tter-wash-
ing. 1t is always safe and more profit
able to let the consumer Judge about the
nut taste in butter than to try to force
upon him a flavor he has learned to avoid.
The market is strongly drifting toward
freshzmade butter, churned from slightly
acid cream, washed free from butter
milk with weak brine, and sailed not to
exceed a half ounce to the pound.

corn cRoP.

The rapid increase since 1880 shows
that the advice to plant more corn and
less cotton has had some effect, although
probably not as much as it would if the
great staple cotton were less of a money
crop than it always has been. The oat
cropiof 1886 In the South was So, $50, 600
bushels, against 40, sra, 900 bushels in
1880, and only 28,685, 900 bushels in
1870. The South in 1886 produced
eleven per cent. of the total oat crop of
the country, against nine per cent. in
1880. The increase in cotton culture in
the South in the period mentioned has
been great, but the increase in food crops
will compare very favorably with i. The
variable nature OF the cotton plant Is such
as to render food crop cultivation prefer
able if all other circumstances were equal.
